Court Rules Public EV Charging Should Have Reduced 5% VAT Instead of 20%

• A court ruled that the 5% ‘domestic’ VAT rate should apply to public EV charging, instead of the current 20%.
• Charge My Street, supported by Deloitte tax experts, argued for the reduced rate based on existing VAT law.
• The law states that supplying less than 1,000kWh per month to a person at a premises qualifies for the 5% rate.
• It is highly unlikely for an EV driver to exceed 1,000kWh per month at a single public charge point.
